if i am not mistaken, gate 3 is a chinese company with some kinda connection to japan. go figure. the jacket looks ok, but as with so many lower-middle tier repros, the sizing is goofy, as per the sizing chart, a size 40 with a pit to pit measurement of 21 1/2", and shoulder seam to shoulder seam: 19". the hardware looks ubiquitous, the knits look ok [actually hard to see well], and the hides,, though a little shiney, look pretty grainy, and might wear well,,,,or not. cant really tell about the liner, but it looks right. label? aw, datsa noso good, boss.
